About The Position

GM's Strategic Risk Management (SRM) team is driven by a single mission — to proactively identify and manage key risks that could prevent the company from achieving its strategic objectives by ensuring our leaders are Aware, Prepared, and Resilient while facing today’s (and tomorrow’s) risks. We are seeking a Senior Analyst who is hungry to grow, eager to innovate, and excited to partner shoulder-to-shoulder with executives across every corner of General Motors to keep our risk management practices best-in-set. As a Senior Analyst on the SRM team, you will be at the center of GM's enterprise risk ecosystem — developing risk insights that reach the Executive Leadership Team (EST), Senior Operating Team (SOT), Risk Advisory Council (RAC), and the Risk & Cybersecurity Committee of the Board (RCC). You will work directly with senior leaders across all GM business units — from Global Product Development and Manufacturing to Finance, Legal, Policy, Emerging Businesses, Design, and more — building the relationships and trust that make enterprise risk management effective. This is not a behind-the-scenes role: you will present, advise, challenge, and coach leaders at the highest levels of the organization. If you are passionate about continuous improvement, intellectually curious about the forces shaping the automotive industry, and driven to push the boundaries of how risk management creates competitive advantage — this role could be a great fit for you and your career.
